Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
